Jul 11,2024

Turn snack time into a delightful adventure with these yummy Frozen Banana Pops! They're easy to make, super tasty, and perfect for a hot summer day. Plus, your little one will love helping out in the kitchen and seeing how healthy foods can be fun and delicious.


What You Need:


  • Bananas
  • Toothpicks
  • Your child's favorite yogurt
  • A plate
  • Wax paper
  • Chopped nuts or granola (optional)


What You Do:


1.Peel and Prep the Bananas:


Help your child peel the bananas and remove all the strings.

Slice Away: Slice the bananas into rounds about 1"-2" thick. Bananas are soft enough that your child can safely cut them using a child-safe knife (with your supervision, of course).


2.Toothpick Time:


Have your child carefully insert a toothpick into each banana round, pushing it in as far as it will go.


3.Yogurt Dip:


Pour the yogurt into a shallow bowl.


4.Dipping Fun:


Let your child pick up a banana round by the toothpick and dip it into the yogurt. Have a spoon handy for any banana rounds that decide to take a swim in the yogurt! If you're using chopped nuts or granola, pour some onto a plate in a shallow layer and roll the yogurt-dipped banana in it.


5.Ready to Freeze:


Place the yogurt-dipped banana on a plate covered with wax paper. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all the banana rounds are dipped in yogurt. Work quickly to prevent the yogurt from running off.


6.Freeze and Enjoy:


Place the plate of bananas in the freezer. Let the banana pops freeze until the yogurt hardens, about 2-3 hours. Once frozen, they're ready to enjoy!


Extra Tips:


Whole Banana Option:

You can also make this treat with whole bananas. Use kabob sticks or bamboo skewers instead of toothpicks.


Creative Coatings:

Experiment with different coatings like crushed cereal, coconut flakes, or mini chocolate chips to add extra fun and flavor.


These Frozen Banana Pops are sure to become a favorite treat for dessert or as a sweet afternoon snack.


Happy snacking!
